Yoga and QiGong with Kristine
Let's use poses to get into the body.
When I tell my somatics students to get all the props they need to be supremely comfortable, they clearly know I mean it!! This is what somatic mindfulness can look like 💜
Do your body, mind, or emotions feel stiff or tense?
I've been there, I feel for you, AND it doesn't have to stay that way.
There's a beautiful way to transform your physicality and literally move toward freedom and flow in body and breath.
Do you want to increase physical, mental, or emotional range of movement, flexibility, and strength? Do you want to do it by tuning into a sweet movement and breath experience from you right where you are?
If you can breathe, you can do yoga and QiGong.

Maybe you're thinking of yourself, friends, or family who want to try yoga but don't think you or they're flexible enough or skilled enough... please share this with them!
Give it a try and move and breathe with me!
"I've been taking Kristine's Yoga With a Chair class on Zoom for 2-1/2 years. What started as something new to try during Covid has become part of my weekly routine and has helped me increase flexibility and reduce tension.
"Kristine encourages us to challenge ourselves within our own limitations– there's never any pressure or judgment.
"She's a great teacher!"

Yoga with Kristine and a Chair
I'd love for you to join me in an accessible yoga class where we use a chair as the only prop you need. ALL you need is a chair! I lead gentle, accessible, and body-focused classes. You could join me from your home, office, or even outside if your weather suits it :)
This class meets you where you're at and is easier or harder depending on what feels good to you in the moment.
Classes are by donation; suggested $15-25 (sliding scale)
I accept payment through Zelle, Venmo, or Paypal. I accept cash/check if in person.
Take care of your beautiful body. You only get the one this time around!
You are an amazing physical and nonphysical being. And my work is all about helping the many layers of your inner beauty emerge. I lead accessible yoga classes that meet your needs. I use my eye, inner sense for detail, and broad experience to guide you through a full-body tuneup for your spine, your breath, your mind, and your whole being.
I'm all about preventive and proactive healthcare. Movement is a big part of the medicine, especially to counteract all of our modern-day sitting.
We are what we eat and how we move. If we sit in a chair a lot, we don't want to resemble one... Stiff, wooden, and hard to move.
Not only does movement keep our muscles strong, joints lubricated, bones dense, lymph pumping, and our immune systems strong, but moving the body moves the mind! If you're feeling sluggish or stuck, get moving. Move it or lose it, friend!
I guide a mix of seated and standing poses.
Feel free to use the chair completely, for balance, or just for seated poses.
Some of the yoga poses include:
Cat cow
Side bends
Seated twist
Forward fold
Seated pigeon
Chair bridge
Breath of joy
Pose of stillness
Willow tree
Goddess
Yogi marches
AND
Chair pose :)
